Abstract: A simplified adjustable fabric pleater guide particularly for use in spacing and forming pinch pleats in draperies. A scale is provided on a measuring stick which may be metrically calibrated, as well as calibrated in inches, while an index is provided on the adjustable fabric guide for rapidly and accurately setting the required primer pleats longitudinally on the fabric. A pinch pleat former is utilized to quickly and accurately divide the primary pleats into pinch pleats.
